Despite the bold package styling in a radical look that defies categorizing, the interior design scores as the Cruiser's most inventive aspect. With 26 defined positions for the seats and a flat cargo floor, the space becomes a canvass for personal expression.
The internal structure is tall, which accommodates seats that rise high like chairs and creates voluminous space with access through four wide and deep doors plus the flip-up rear gate.
Headroom is generous even for tall passengers and so is the legroom for front and back seats. Up front, there are two buckets separated by a console, and in back a firm bench makes room for three riders.
For PT Turbo, conventional buckets are replaced by a pair of performance seats with strong side bolsters. The driver's seat also makes manual lumbar adjustments.
Instruments cluster in a gauge package trimmed with a silver-faced finish. Included is a tachometer and speedometer notched to 140 mph.
More touches of silver flash through the cabin, with a painted shift ball on the manual transaxle stick and a silver bezel ringing the automatic's apparatus.
A limited-edition variation of PT Turbo drenched in Tangerine Pearl Coat paint goes by the label of PT Dream Cruiser Series 2.
While it totes the high-output turbo engine of PT Turbo, Dream Cruiser also carries a body-color spoiler at the tail, plus chrome bodyside moldings, a power moonroof and 17-inch wheels in chrome.
Production will be confined to 7,500 units.
PT Cruiser for 2003 also divides into trims called Touring and Limited Edition, plus the standard version.
These Cruisers carry a twin-cam 2.4-liter four-pack mustering 150-hp at 5,200 rpm with 162 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm.
